microSDHC Card?

Any recommendations for a microSDHC card? I'd like a 16GB. I've been reading up on Class 2, 4, 6, and 10 cards. The consensus seems to be that Class 2 is adequate for most phone usage, except perhaps for recording 720p video.
Any thoughts on this? Brands? I'd like to grab a SanDisk from Office Depot for about $32.

I got an 8gb class 6 for $20 (search newegg for item N82E16820208453 i cant post urls yet sorry).
I figure I may be able to use it in other gadgets in the future and it was only a few dollars difference from a class 4 or 2.

An 8 GB doesn't seem such a bad idea for a starter. I have an 8 GB iPhone 3G right now, and I'm trading it to my daughter for her iPod Touch 8 GB. I'll use it for podcasts and music I don't listen to much.
I'll probably trade up to a 32 GB when they come down in price, and maybe in the meantime I'll grab another 8 GB as a backup / extra "film roll" for trips.

Class 10 is meant for super fast write speeds needed for higher end video capture and the like. Usually DSLRs and such. You'll see a significant price difference for class 6 and class 10 cards. I doubt the Aria camera and system really needs, or even can take advantage of those speeds. Best bet is any basic card I suspect. I prefer going authentic Sandisk >=8Gb. I've been burned recently by DOA Polaroid labeled cards so I'm going back to Sandisk from here on out myself.

I ordered a Class 6 Transcend 8 GB card off of NewEgg. I wanted a Class 6 16 GB, but one comment in the reviews scared me away from the Transcend 16 GB card:
Pros: Reasonable price, good transfer rates.
Cons: When trying to partition ext2 anywhere besides partition slot 1 it returns:
"ERROR: input/output error during write on /dev/block/mmcblk0"
Makes it so you cannot use apps2sd for Android.

I wasn't sure if this would apply, but I didn't want to risk it. The 8 GB reviews all said it worked fine with Android phones.
The 8GB card was only $20, and I figured that I can probably deal with that until the 32 GB cards come down in price. Also, the 8 GB card was a 5x Customer Choice Award Winner, with 624 reviews. Since my iPhone was 8GB, I'm pretty sure I can live with that for awhile, maybe getting a second one to take on trips.

I personally like A-Data, Transcend, and Kingston. I've had compatibility problems with Sandisk before. I like these brands because they've never given me compatibility problems. I've bought a lot of cards from Transcend, but recently, I'm leaning more towards A-Data because their cards are generally pretty fast, like this one.

I got a 16GB card from Sandisk on Newegg for cheap, slapped it in there and it worked perfect. It is a SDHC card also but so far no issues at all.
Newegg item: FLASH 16G|SAND SDSDQ-016G-A11M R

I got a 16gb microSD class 2 from frys for $17.99 after mail in rebate sounds like a good deal to me. The brand is polaroid by pny, but who cares about the brand.
Sent from my HTC Aria

I've been using the stock card, but used an A-Data 16gig class 6 to root the phone. I'm planning on buying another one to use in the phone. Class 6 may be a little overkill, but i use it in my helmet cam, and i'd like to keep a spare one around. i doubt i can fill 16 gig on the phone.

Bunnie Huang of xbox hacking and chumby fame has done a forensic analysis of a handful of microSD cards in the pursuit of the best quality to include with the chumby device. He determined, among other things, that:
"Kingston is revealed as simply a vendor that re-marks other people’s chips in its own packaging. Every Kingston card surprisingly had a Sandisk/Toshiba memory chip inside, and the only variance or “value add” that could be found is in the selection of the controller chip."
The article is an amazing read.

You'll fill it up quickly if you load all your music on it. Personally, I'm looking forward to when 32GB MicroSD cards are more widely available and the prices are a bit more reasonable.

I picked up a class 2 16gb Polaroid from fry's and I've had no problems. Usually I would never go for that brand (usually go with Kingston or patriot) but the price was good at 25 bucks. Have had no problems whatsoever with it.

I got the same card at Frys on Sunday, great deal! If you look closely at the labeling it says made by PNY for Polaroid.

Anybody tried this 32 gb sd card? Awefully cheap, is it worth it?

Found this on Ebay, don't know though. It comes out of Shanghai and the price is cheap. I'm more worried about cheap crap wrecking my phone. Anybody try one of these yet?
http://cgi.ebay.com/SanDisk-32GB-mi...gital_Camera_Memory_Cards&hash=item1e5e54d767

it won't wreck your phone, but it will probably die after a few weeks - if that long. If you but it, be prepared to throw away your money at some point and all the data on the card.
SanDisk probably won't warranty it because it is probably counterfeit.

don't think u ever will get it
last 16gb card i bought over ebay was about 7€cheaper then all the rest and i never saw it - got money back by paypal thats why i tried (and he had about 100 positive votings).
this seems to be about 50€ cheaper then a normal 32GB card and he has 0 votings - so he propably tires to get the money and vanish into dust before Paypal can claim the money from him.
would buy something more recent.

I bought a 16gb kingston class 4 on amazon, it was around 45$, and they had a promo that if you signed up for an amazon credit card you get 30$ off your first bill. so bought it and paid it off for 15$.
Honestly, with Froyo coming soon and apps2sd, Id really reccomend investing in a good class 4 or 6. The faster the speed of the card, the faster your phone will be able to pull and push data to it.
Another note, my class 4 can move large files at about 8-9 mb/s, but if there are many small files it will only run about 3 mb/s, so Id really recommend a reputable brand. That is not to say the kingston doesnt work good, just to say one of those cheapo 30$ cards advertising class 6 will probably run much slower and break apart quickly

Good point about the speed issue. Can't wait for Froyo.

Class ratings apply to write speeds not read speeds. Theoretically you can write faster to higher class cards, but this usually applies to direct writes on the device (camcorder recording to card) not USB between phone and PC. The USB copies (PC to phone) may be faster, but you have a additional overhead of the USB bus.
Buy a name brand card. I have an 8Gb Sandisk class 2 and it works great for Camera, camcorder, and anything else i want to do with the phone software. My 1080P camcorder has class 6 cards, but it requires it.

I'd steer clear from buying memory cards/ usb flash drives on eBay. I've seen way too many people get scammed on getting what they thought was a 16gb flash drive and end up with a 128mb stick with 16gb screenprinted on it. These microSD's are no different.

Actually I tested this using the sdhc adapter directly to the SD card slot. so no USB/phone interface interfering here. And again, thats what I was stressing. Buy a name brand card, probably a class 4 or 6 considering the move to froyo.

So you got the same MB/s throughput with the card reader as well as the phone connected to the PC? Still puts the USB bus in the way. EDIT - NM I see what you were measuring.
I wonder what the transfer rate is on the phone - back and forth between internal SD and external SD.

Huh, interesting concept. I dont even know of a way to test that

I bought a 32gig card from China for 18 bucks shipped. 1st time I've been scammed on ebay. It seemed to show up as a 32gig, but the phone wouldn't recognize it and wanted to format it....sure thing I figured. Now it shows as an 8mb card that won't format no matter what I do. I disputed it to paypal after the auction/seller disappeared on ebay, but they want me to send it back to China to refund. I considered this might happen and was willing to risk 20 bucks, but it didn't end up well. The funniest part was that it showed up in Kingston packaging, but the date was 2008. I'm pretty sure 32 gig microSD's didn't even exist in 2008.

Thats terrible!! well good luck getting your money back... Lol so I guess if it looks too good to be true, it probably is. Id just stick with trustworthy sellers, brands, and sites, and look for good deals!

I am not sure where you found this - but the official specs call for up to 32GB card:

Many people are using 32GB cards. It is the limit of the SDHC spec, so the 16gb is probably a typo from somewhere.

Whoa. My quote was from page 34 of the user manual. It's crazy to find that download on the Samsung site. Here is the link (I can't post links yet in this forum):

Not sure if the one I purchased is the same because the item post has been removed but mine came from Beijing I believe. Came in a Kingston package which was obviously fake. Put it in my phone did a format and it showed a 32gb card. Writing files takes forever directly from the computer but everything looks good so far. Mainly using it for music.

I just bought the same one! You can get 10 dollars off (to make it $39.99) if you buy it with a new account. Use the promo code NEWCUSTOMER10. You have to add something small to the order to get it over 50. I went to Newegg gear and added a Newegg wristband, as it was the cheapest item with free shipping.
I wouldn't buy any cards off Ebay. There's as much incentive to sell rigged cards as there is demand for high capacity. My roommate just bought a 32 GB off Ebay and he got lucky. Make sure that the seller offers returns and when you get it immediately run h2testw.
I just have one question for the OP..
Are you feelin lucky?

My wife and I picked up Patriot sd's from Micro Center... I think they were $39 they work pretty awesome. Price wasnt bad at all compared to online prices. it seems like it is luck of the draw on the Generic ebay ones so we stayed away from those.

Fakes are extremely common for flash memory on ebay, especially on any kind of "OMG WHAT A DEAL!" type of things. The fakes are usually a 2GB card that's had a 3 painted on it in front of the 2, and hacked firmware to make it appear to be 32. But when you try to fill it, it won't let you, because it's still just a 2GB card.
Basically, if it's substantially below the going rate from reputable sources (looks to be roughly $60-80), you're going against probably 80-90% odds that you'll get a fake.

I made the mistake of buying one and I can put 32 gb worth in info on there but when I put it in the phone it can't access it.

I wouldn't buy from anyone but a trusted source and right now I wouldn't buy one for less than about $50.00.
In a year or two they'll be going for $25.00, but right now anything that cheap is bound to be a fake that doesn't actually hold anywhere near 32GB.

true story

16gb class 10 (14.8 formatted)- ~$35
32gb class 10 (formatted size unknown)- ~$82
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004H8FTCK
i bought the 16gb c10 and it shipped fast and works perfectly for me. it is a real card, not a rip off too. sdtools (i think its called) for android said it has a r=10-12.5mb/s w=20-25mb/s or something in that range (been a while since i uninstalled the app). never had a problem and i highly recommend it, the 16gb one atleast since thats the only one i can speak for.

Patriot class 6 32gb micro SD card from Fry's for $69 about 3 months ago.
It's legit, not like the fakes on Ebay. Google it. You will find out the truth. Even if you pay near to the going price, you run the risk of getting a fake. IMHO, it's just not worth the hassle.

Got one it works pretty good..

Got to be careful with SD cards on eBay. I got a fake. I tested it with a program called htest or something like that. Seller did refund my money before I sent back the cards which was quite nice of him. I ended up biting the bullet and bought 2 from best buy.

be aware some people are not fond of play.com and their customer service. i have never tried their preordering service - perhaps others can share their experience?

whew! I just bought 64Gb Class 6 version. Since this is a new product, I hope it'll also work with our Note.

It works. But didn't want to work initially, formatted to fat32 and still nothing, but all of a sudden it works. Plugged in and out of my phone finally worked. When transfering, my phone crashes (turns off) Running latest Stunner, have to pull the battery, dunno what the bug is, but I have to install files plugged in directly for faster transfer, kinda slow with USB Mounted anyways.

I trust Rakuten, they are the best source to get East Asian goods and are very reputable, I guess you could say their the equivalent to an Amazon specialising in East Asian goods mainly from Japan.

are there any class 10 cards where the read data access times are as good as class 6?

Oh great if it's work with our Galaxy Note !!!
It's strange because it's a class 10 and it's not cheaper ... the class 6 cost very more ... I don't understand this one.

This is my biggest worries about buying microSD card with price that is "too good to be true".
I have bought many many microSD and SD cards (since the days of Windows Mobile phones) and there are tons of fake cards. I noticed that this is usually when the prices of the card is really cheap.
To the OP or whoever bought this card, what's the R/W speed? Use SD Tools from Google Play (link) to measure the speed. In the past, I have bought brand name card from even reputable seller (Amazon Prime) but Amazon themselves got FAKE card. I.e. I got a Kingston Class 6 16GB and the R/W speed is less than 1 Mbps (!!!) My Sandisk 8GB Class 4 R/W is more than 2Mbps.
Not to say bad thing about OP, but just to consider the above.

Hey thanks!
it is always a good idea to be cautious when you buy a memory card and that is why it is important to buy from a reputable store
it seems you were unfortunte to get a dud card as amazon (not amazon market) are usually a safe bet but i guess nothing is for certain in this world ... except death and taxes
Play (again not Play 'Market') are reputable also and been around for many years and i would trust them not to sell fake cards but it is their customer service that is bad. They usually discount things on a pre-release but sometimes they get the availability date wrong and so you might be left waiting. I know Amazon don't withdraw money until the item gets shipped but i don't think that is the case with play and that is where you might end up having a bad experience if they delay shipping etc
some still say a class 6 is better than 10?!!?

EDIT (links):
I bought from this ebay seller (sinceritytrading) who's got 76,000 feedback. Price has increased to $72. All other top-sellers are charging a similar amount. supply/demand has changed in the last couple weeks.

The $50 one was for a class 6, which I picked up.
I haven't seen anything that low for class 10

Is class 10 really necessary? Will you notice the increased speed at all?

I doubt it, normally the sandisk are higher then any other, like the samsung class 10 shows 13meg/sec and the class 6 sandisk lists as 30meg/sec...Sure if you run a special test it might show faster, but for absolutely anything these phones can do, no I will put money nobody would ever notice

Class 10 for music?
I got absolutely zero replies at this post, but I plan to try a Class 10. I don't know what class that Sandisk is, but the pkg said it did 20MB/sec. Class 10 is 10. So I don't know what to think.

Is that 20MB read speed or write speed?
Class 10 is 10MBsec write. Read speeds are generally double of what the write speed.

Have used a variety of "class" uSD cards in various items for a while. For me, the "sweet spot" for read/write speed and data transfer integrity is Class 6. And stay with trusted known brands from reputable sources. For me that's SanDisc IMHO.
Bought a 64GB Class 6 on Amazon for my SGT7.7 for $70....dealer sent a Class 10 claiming a better deal. After I explained why I wanted to RMA for a Class 6.....they swapped me without question.
YMMV

You think class 6 is better than class 10? Why exactly?
